Global Health safety

Global health is the area of of study, research and practice that helps in improving health conditions globally. Global health in general is regarded as initiating the health of world population. Many global health centres are increasing in the world to meet the needs of people.Global health also include areas related to scientific research of diseases, epidemology,and other health issues.

Medical Safety

Medical safety refers to the safety regarding the medical devices, diseases, and health care of the diseased patients. Medical safety can also be termed as the safety and efficacy of medications that are carried out by people. Medical safety is a wide term which can be used for hospital safety, medical device safety, drug safety and many which comes under medical safety.

Good Clinical Practice

Good clinical practice (GCP) is an international quality standard that is provided by ICH, an international body that defines standards, which governments can transpose into regulations for clinical trials involving human subjects. GCP enforces strict guidelines on ethical aspects of a clinical study. High standards are required in terms of documentation for the clinical protocol, record keeping, and training. GCP aims to ensure that the studies are scientifically authentic and that the clinical properties of the investigational product are properly documented. Ongoing research shows that whether conducting research involving a new drug, a behavioral intervention, or an interview or survey, GCP provides investigators and their study teams with the tools to protect human subjects and collect quality data.

Public Health Safety

Public health refers to "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals." It is concerned with threats to health based on population health analysis.

Ambulatory Care safety

Majority of health care takes place in the outpatient, or ambulatory care, hence efforts are made to improve the safety of patient. Ensuring patient safety outside the hospital pose a unique challenge, hence there are many measures to outcome these. Ambulatory care safety provides measures regarding the safety and efficacy of the healthcare of patients.

Medical Device Safety

Medical device safety is needed to ensure the proper use of medical devices, health and safety of patients.A medical device should meet all the regulatory, safety and performance requirements and safety standards. Medical device is an instrument, apparatus, implant, in vitro reagent, or similar or related article that is used to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease which do not have any chemical reaction inside or outside the body. Medical devices include tongue depressors, medical thermometers, and disposable gloves to advanced devices such as computers which assist in the conduct of medical testing, implants, and prostheses.

Hospital Safety

Hospital Safety include the safety of both the patients and the quality of a hospital. It defines the safety and health care of patients. safety includes free of errors, injuries, accidents, infections and disease spread.Hospitals have many hidden dangers in order to prevent them safety is the first measure.

Food Safety Management

Food Safety management is a risk management system that identifies, evaluates, and controls hazards relating food safety throughout food supply chain. The consequences of food can be serious and food safety management standards help organizations identify and control food safety hazards.

Applied Biosafety

Biosafety is the prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing both on ecology and human health. These prevention mechanisms include conduction of regular reviews of the biosafety in laboratory settings, as well as strict guidelines to follow. Biosafety is used to protect us from harmful incidents. High security facilities are necessary.

Bioethics and Biosafety

Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also moral discernment as it relates to medical policy, practice, and research. Biosafety is the prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing both on ecology and human health.

Biosafety Management

"The Biosafety Program assesses and manages the potential dangers in examination tasks including biohazardous materials through preparing, office and gear affirmation and exploration convention audit.The analysis of ways and development of strategies to minimize the likelihood of the occurrence of biorisks."

Microbiological Biosafety

Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) has become the code of practice for biosafety- the discipline addressing the safe handling and containment of infectious microorganisms and hazardous biological materials.The fundamentals of containment include the microbiological practices, safety equipment, and facility safeguards that protect laboratory workers, the environment, and the public from exposure to infectious microorganisms.

Biomedical Lab Biosafety

The term “biosecurity” has multiple definitions.Eye and face protection (goggles, mask, face shield or other splash guard) is used for anticipated splashes or sprays of infectious or other hazardous materials. In the animal industry, the term biosecurity relates to the protection of an animal colony from microbial contamination.Safety measures applied to the handling of biologic materials or organisms with a known potential to cause disease in humans.
